William Wilberforce is best remembered as the parliamentary leader
for the British campaign to abolish the slave trade. He took on the
financial system of his day and fought an incredible twenty-year
battle in order to bring about justice and freedom for the
marginalized and the vulnerable. But this rarest of politicians was
motivated by a radical faith in Jesus that also led him to
spearhead a number of other causes. Read the full story of
Wilberforce and his friends in the Clapham Sect: how they not only
abolished the transatlantic slave trade that was destroying Africa,
but also began a missionary movement in India, sent Bibles across
the world, were at the forefront of improving education for the
poor of Britain, and finally succeeded in bringing emancipation for
all slaves throughout the British Empire. "Inspiring, challenging,
encouraging and hard to put down. William Wilberforce encapsulates
the breadth of Wilberforce's life, his political wranglings and
personal musings, and has fuelled my personal journey in the
modern-day battle against human trafficking." Antoinette Daniel,
Director of Merton Against Trafficking
